Mule Deer
Odocoileus hemionus
43.878, -121.456
Field Notes
Description:
Observed grazing along the Deschutes River Trail in Bend, Oregon.
Habitat:
This species thrives on the edge of the forest, as the dark forest lacks the underbrush and grasslands that the deer prefers as food, and completely open areas lack the hiding spots and the cover it prefers for harsh weather. This deer often is most active at dawn and dusk, and is frequently involved in collisions with automobiles.
